Imai Sokyu & Tea Merchant Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows Revealed

In the early stages of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to avenge her father's murder, targeting the masked assailants. As part of this journey, you have the option to pursue the Golden Teppo. Here’s a detailed guide on how to locate Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location

Your search for Imai Sokyu begins with limited clues:

• He is located in western Settsu.
• He is specifically in southwestern Sakai.

To find him, navigate to the city of Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, press the square button to deploy them to the southwestern section of Sakai. This will help pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. Without scouts, make your way to Sakai and head to the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan the area; a blue dot will guide you to Imai Sokyu.

Once you locate him, a short sequence will ensue where you follow Imai Sokyu, culminating in a conversation at a teahouse. This interaction provides Naoe with crucial information about her next steps.

Assassin’s Creed Tea Merchant Location

After meeting Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, who is conveniently located nearby. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and again, use the L2 button to scan your surroundings. Look for the blue dot to find the merchant.

Locating the tea merchant progresses your quest and allows Naoe to learn about the tea ceremony, bringing her one step closer to obtaining the Golden Teppo.
